DS Is Always Getting Red Marks...

[Quootiepie]

Hiya,
DS is approaching 8 months, and has always been prone to red marks, I told the HV, and she said its ok as long as they are not bruises... but they look awful! Hes just gently headbutted the safety gate, and has a big red mark on his forhead... He was weighed the other day, and had a massive mark where I held him (gently!) They really do look like hes had a whack... apart from they dissapear within a few minutes, at most an hour or so. When I gave him vitamins the other day, all around his mouth went red, and red where hed dribbled it out... Should I get it checked out?

Thanks x

take him to docs,....get some reassurance...some kids like that , mark very easily .....if you are concerned, get some medical advice, esp. if HV not really put your mind at rest xx

Thanks lulu

my dd is the same! finger marks where I (gently) hold her!!! It does make me a bit alarmed when we go th HV in case she thinks I squeeze her, or something!
